Faculty members from both the Astronomy and Physics Departments engage in diverse theoretical astrophysics research, covering topics such as solar system dynamics, exoplanet simulations, stellar formation and development, galactic evolution, gravitational wave forecasting, and cosmological studies.
The Astronomy Department provides graduate-level education culminating in M.S., M.S.T., or Ph.D. degrees in astronomy. Planetary Systems - Research efforts focus on observational and theoretical investigations of planetary system formation, dynamical changes in planetary systems, and the discovery and analysis of exoplanets. Department members participate in the Kepler Mission and conduct ground-based Doppler surveys to detect exoplanets. Additional research explores the formation and orbital patterns of interplanetary dust and small celestial bodies within our solar system and around neighboring stars. Stellar populations - Observational research primarily examines individual stars within the Milky Way and adjacent galaxies. Special attention is given to binary star systems and blue stragglers, aiming to connect theoretical models of stellar structure and evolution with observed stellar characteristics across different cosmic environments.
